Welcome to TimersSports
Sleepers -
Michael McDowell - He is not the first name that you think of pretty ever, but he had speed last weekend and he does again this weekend. He drove the 95 last season, before moving over to the No.34 team here in 2018. He has looked good here at Las Vegas and said on twitter that he has a pretty good racecar. He also added that he is excited for the race on Sunday. I love when a driver has positive things to say after practice. He sounded confident about his chances and I wouldn't rule out a top 20 from him.
William Byron- William Byron is a great sleeper to consider for Sunday's race. The rookie will make his 3rd career start and he looked pretty good in practice. On Saturday, he displayed speed in both practices sessions. After final practice, he sounded happy with his car. He said it was pretty good and seems excited about his chances. He also was fast in a test session at Las Vegas, too. That's a good sign for the young driver. I think he is gonna be able to score his first career top 15 finish on Sunday afternoon. If he get track position and keep it, then watch out he may nab his first career top 10. But let's keep the expectations low for now though.
Other options - Ryan Newman,Jamie Mac
Dark Horses -
Clint Bowyer - I was very high on Clint Bowyer last weekend at Atlanta and I said he was my top dark horse pick. Well, he is my top dark horse pick once again. He was fast in both practices on Saturday. His team told him that he had one of the best cars so far this weekend at end of the morning session. In final practice, his lap times looked really good. They weren't the best, but they didn't fall off too much. I think Bowyer will use last week's momentum and contend for another strong finish. This is the first time in a long time that I actually believe in Clint Bowyer. The Fords have started off the season strong and I see no reason to lay off them right now! After final practice, Darrell Waltrip (aka DW) posted the best 5, 10, 15 and 20 lap averages. He was 5th on the best-15 lap average list. Even better he got higher on each list.
Ryan Blaney - I wouldn't call him a favorite to win the race from the pole, but he is certainly in that next group of drivers. I think Kevin Harvick, Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr are the top 3 drivers for the race. Blaney is in that next group and he has a very fast racecar. Blaney sounded pleased with his car overall, other than looking to be more comfortable. The Penske cars are always fast here and Blaney is a stud at this 1.5 mile track. If you are looking for a legit dark horse pick who can go to victory lane, then this could be your guy. I think Ford is gonna go to victory lane on Sunday's afternoon. Question is does he drives the #12 car?
